Build your own 35mm SLR Camera?


So you want to build your own 35mm SLR camera? Well your friends might think you're crazy but have no fear because the world's first DIY SLR camera is here! The Kronstruktor looks beautiful and also looks relatively easy to put together. By clicking and screwing it together in a few easy steps; you'll soon have a fully-operational 35mm camera that's able to shoot brilliant analogue photos.

The camera comes with a top-down viewfinder to see what you shoot and to focus; an easy multiple exposure function; special settings for long exposures and a detachable 50mm f/10 lens. It's as good as SLR cameras go and thanks to the DIY aspect, you'll feel as though you've designed it yourself.
No paint or glue is required, and further customisation options for the Konstruktor will be made available in the future as more interchangeable Lomography lenses and accessories are set to be realised in the coming months.

So with the age of digital photography in full swing, if you are interested in getting back to the roots of analog photography why not build the camera yourself. I would also like to see how the photos actually turn out from one of these cameras. Found here.
